I thought the “ Onyango at CB” was a most interesting move for the Palace game, 6 ft 3in , young, needs to fill out a bit , but if we provide him with specific coaching and development it may just pay off.

The thing is he's been about 6 foot 3 since he was like 16 and since he's returned has been used as the most advanced midfielder. Feels more like forcing a square peg in a round hole than an actual plan to convert a 21 year old into a brand new position.

Dunno, I’ve always seen defensive mid as his best position, although his assist for that goal proves me wrong a bit. I don’t have a lot of faith that we have the coaches who can convert him to a CB with position -specific coaching though, Hopefully something will come of it and it’s not just a last throw of the dice. In the end there are a few players in the lower leagues who are used as both a CB and midfielder, look good at that level, and are sought after.

Some top level crap defending by John and Welch then.

2-1 Blackburn

Quality oozing throughout the club from top to bottom

What a bleeding goal that js

2-2 , Kouyate , assist from Metcalfe with a neat chip through , he continues to look the pick of this bunch, Metcalfe that is..

Ooops . 2-3 ,

Great goal for Blackburn but poor defensive header from Welch lobbing it to the middle of the box

That defending again was absolutely shocking. Crellin literally just needs to shout for Welch to leave it and he takes it with no one near him.

Great finish but God we are absolutely dreadful

16 year old doing that whilst we have 40 year old Kyle John and 4 million a year Danjuma doing nish. Cheers sons crying.

Don't really watch the U21s much, as who wants more than the mandatory Everton these days but why do we still have that John? Thought the days of the Pennington types were over.

He's not the only player above 21. A few of the players are 22. If they haven't had a successful loan at a good level by 21 they should be let go.
